Hi Dan, Was reading your post from December. Did you ever end up buying a Epson solvent or latex printer? I recently bought the S40600 4 color machine and love it. I have many years experience in wide format include operating all the major brands of printers. Epson is by far my favorite...

What did you find about actual ink usage on a heavy print per sq'? I was trying to get Onyx ink calculations to work on my Epson 40600 with Gamaprint and it turns out Epson and Onyx both told me it won't work with any of the precision dot profiles. If you make your own profiles they said it...

Hi Stacey, What town are you in? I'm in Green Bay area. Do you ever need a source for solvent printing? Jim

I printed in on 126" vutek that had and ink set made for this. For just a pan face with nothing too close to the boarder it worked fine. However, but trying a form that also had some embossing it was very tricky to to get it to line up and be consistent. Lots of test and waste with embossing...

I'm not sure about the ink used in these "golf ball printers" but most UV ink is dimensional. If it has any dimension too it most your better golfers would not play them.

I'm a golfer and would not sure I would use balls with any uv print on them. Would not trust the balls all react the same.

I have used both and if I was paying the bills I would buy a nice roll to roll laminator. You can mount with it and lam entire rolls as well. Big AGL fan for laminators. Table units not worth the cost in my opinion. Agree if you high volume shop mounting can be faster on a table unit, but...

I have experience with a 126" wide EFI Vutek flatbed and it was great for doing 3 layer color white color) flex faces but other than that I would prefer a true flat bed. Print quality is ok for the size of the machine.

Would you be interested in a barely used brother GT-381 printer and a Pretreat Maker III setup?

We have a rolls roller here at work but if I had my own small shop I would just buy a real nice laminator. I can use a laminator for mounting all day long and it's way better for laminating. When I say good lamintor I don't mean a $8000 - $12,000 machine, I've used them and they suck compared...

We also ran Caldera on a mac and we did have some similar issues when printing direct with caldera. However never did see this problem when outputting files for the printers internal print servers to print. Also, they use to say it was designed and ran better on a linux operating system.

Have you tried it on a different printer?

Have you tried to rip then print instead of printing as it's ripping?

Used Caldera at my last job and we often thought the same thing that tech support never really fixed an issue, just a work around. That said, Caldera has some really nice features that work well but it really depends on their driver for your printer.
